From Tragedy, To Farce, To Peewee Herman?

The Duke lacrosse case continues to unravel.

The latest defense motion reveals yet more DNA samples found in the accuser's body, that are not identifiable to any suspect. Prosecutor Mike Nifong did not disclose any of these to the defense, as both North Carolina and U.S. Constitutional law require him to do.

In a complex case, mistakes are sometimes made. Prosecutors are sometimes over-zealous. That's improper and can be unethical.

Nifong's conduct, if the defense motion proves correct, goes way beyond mistakes or excess of zeal. This was a conscious attempt to keep a frame-up going, at least past election time.

Where is the outrage from Duke officials? If these defendants were not middle-class white athletes there would be yowls of protest and mass demonstrations.

I'm not going to let any child of mine apply to Duke. The only person who should go to jail is Nifong; it's that bad. Dismiss this outrageous case now!
